The Past Weaves Through Her Future

The magical series Braided Dimensions soars to new heights with Strange Alliances. At the start of the series, Kay, a Berkeley professor of ancient languages, falls under the spell of a charming bard who takes her to medieval time. Back home, she is determined to return to that ancient dimension where spirit-walking and mind-speak are practiced by healers and mages. With no knowledge of magic—only curiosity and a passion for old languages—Kay acquires talents only to become enmeshed in threatening plots as she crosses back and forth from present to past. When her son and daughter become entangled in the web of intrigues, she must learn to protect them or lose all she loves. Readers of Strange Alliances journey deep into Norwegian caves and high in Jutland towers of ancient time, encountering beguiling otherworld creatures and an amber stone that may be at the heart of all malice, or of sublime love. Discover surprising allies with Kay as she struggles to survive a medieval world of strange, sometimes frightening but always captivating possibilities.
